Follow `AGENTS.md` as the canonical repository instructions for agent work.

If another Cursor rule conflicts with `AGENTS.md`, prefer `AGENTS.md`.

Ask before making external side effects:

- `git commit`
- `git push`
- `git commit --amend`, rebasing, squashing, or rewriting branch history
- creating, commenting on, reviewing, editing, closing, or merging PRs
- commenting on, editing, closing, or reopening GitHub issues

When addressing review feedback on an existing PR, create a new follow-up commit
by default. Do not amend commits unless the user explicitly asks for an amend,
rebase, squash, or other history rewrite.

For stacked PRs, prefer merging parent branch updates into the child branch over
rebasing, because PRs are squash-merged into `main`.

Do not post comments, close issues, merge PRs, or push branches unless the user
explicitly asks for that action.
